You've outed yourself with that question. For one, we aren't fighting
over WMDs - we're fighting over terrorism (the current bogeyman for
all ages). Second, we WOULDN'T fight over Oil since we get so LITTLE
oil from that region.

The argument can be made that we have an obvious security interest in
the oil from that region, however, because our ALLIES rely on that
oil...but that's an argument your side isn't readily willing to make
sense those allies are socialist, liberal ones your side has gushy
feelings about.

Nice comebacks though... from now on when I get into a debate with
someone I'm only going to quote their signature and respond to it! :)
